ShaanIn 2006, Nikesh Parmar, better known as DJ Xtreme crashed onto the British guerilla music scene with his various mashups... all of which surfaced on youtube. He was quickly found and just as quickly amassed a cult fanbase - myself included in their numbers. His mashups pretty much always include hip hop or related diva music. If you ask me, his very best mashups mix hip hop with Bollywood music.
Very sadly, some months after I discovered these wonderous creations, they vanished. I couldn't even find any live torrents of the audio itself, no less the videos.
Tonight, I decided to try to search for these things again.
It turns out that Mr. Parmar tore down his original account and set up five separate youtube accounts instead, one for each volume of his remixes. And understandably so - he's posted so many mashup videos that any newcomer might feel a little overwhelmed at having them all in one account.
Here are a few of my treasured favourites.
The first is dus bahane (Shaan, or so says wikipedia) vs. Yeah (of Ludacris/Usher/Lil Jon fame).
Next is Sharara (from Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai) vs
Candy Shop (that part being 50 Cent's.)
I'm also quite fond of one involving "Say Shava Shava," a number from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, with Terror Squad'sLean Back.
I cannot, however, find the video for another favourite of mine, which involves Pritam'sDhoom Machale mashed up with N*E*R*D's Lapdance. (If, perchance, you enjoyed Paul Oakenfold's remix of that track for Swordfish, then that would quite likely be up your alley.) However, an mp3 of that track, along with all the tracks I've posted here, can be found here.
